Rural Doctors Settlement Package 

 

The Rural Doctors Settlement Package (RDSP) was negotiated by the Rural Doctors' Association and Ministry of Health in 1988.  It is a set of fees paid by rural hospitals for public services rendered at RDSP hospitals (see list below) by Visiting Medical Officers.  Fees are indexed annually on 1st August according to a formula based on the CPI and other factors.

Please contact the RDA NSW office on ph: 1800 350 732, or via email: [email protected] if you have any questions or require any assistance with:

  • the RDSP Indexation of Fees,
  • the RDSP Clarifications Reference Guide
